Boone Isaacs is the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences president and a 30-year film marketing executive.

“As the industry continues to grapple with changing platforms and new methods of distribution, Cheryl Boone Isaacs is in a unique position to help aspiring young filmmakers understand the world of film marketing,” Bassett said.

Each semester, Dodge College hosts an expert filmmaker to meet with and counsel 10 selected scholars as part of its Filmmaker-in-Residence program.

As the new mentor, Boone Isaacs will meet one-on-one with students and help each develop a specific project for the fall semester. Boone Isaacs will also interact with Dodge College at weekly dinners, open to students, and film screenings followed by an in-class question and answer session led by film professor Jim Frederick.

Boone Isaacs was recently re-elected for a second term as president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. She also owns a film consulting company in Los Angeles.
